A lot is happening in Alpharetta, and sometimes it can be hard to keep up with the latest on what private developers are building around town. Wouldn’t it be great to be in the know?
Each month we host a drop-in style conversation for Alpharetta residents to hear directly from developers who have submitted zoning, variance, and other public hearing applications that will soon be heard by the Planning Commission and/or City Council. Held at City Hall, it is an informal opportunity for residents to get information about the proposals and pose questions directly to the developers. This way, residents are better informed and are prepared to share their thoughts and opinions during the upcoming public hearings.
Cases to be featured this month include:
